$50 Prize: TennisW.com Header Design Competition

This is for all you graphic designers on TW. I'm running a competition to get a new header designed for the site. The competition is being hosted at GFXVoid.com, a graphics design online community that has approximately 20,000 members.

I usually tend to stay away from flash, simply because it doesn't come pre-installed on all computers and many people do not have it installed.

Although, I have found a javascript which determines if visitors have the correct version of flash needed for a file. If they do, then the flash will play - otherwise they see the static image .GIF or .JPG. Also does the same if they have javascript turned off. That script does somewhat negate the issue regarding visitors who don't have flash as it doesn't result in them seeing any broken flash images, etc.

I suppose at this point I'm undecided. In the competition specs I did mention that the format would need to be either gif or jpeg.

On the GeekBoards site I do have flash, though. It runs only on the main url. All internal pages use the static image. I figure if I'm going to show the flash I should limit it in a way that has minimal impact.
